True Match Mineral Loose Powder Foundation, Soft Ivory, 0.35oz

Easy to apply. 5min makeup. Sunscreen. Excellent price. Good Value. EDIT: Still the one. I've resigned myself to mineral powders only. Or this powder only. This has such a natural look on me. That's hard to do when a product has sufficient pigment such as this one. In the summer I use a lite dusting kaolin based(silicone free) powder as a primer on my T-zone so I don't get shiny. I wished I'd tried this years ago, I'd have saved myself a LOT of money. New users please note this isn't a ' swirl, tap, and buff ' product. Its a ' DIP, STIPPLE, then BUFF. Steps 1. Remove lid, unscrew brush(top) and remove inner seal. Or poke holes, you should see the perforations on the sifter. replace brush(top). 2. With brush(top) screwed on SHAKE container once or twice no more or too much product is dispensed. USER BEWARE. Product will gather on the underside of brush top, the next step is important to avoid too much fall out. Step three is the messiest part. Another option is to put powder in another container. 3. TAP container base on palm or counter once or twice so that powder settles on sifter. Next unscrew brush(top) and flip it over. Note: you will see powder on the underside, that's how creamy this powder is. Tapping of base helps mitigate this but it seems, with this container, agitation of any sort seem to release a lot of product. This may be why people complain about the 'mess'. 4. DIP brush(top), or brush of choice , lightly onto sifter container portion and pick up the amount of product you desire. Dip brush as often as you need to. NO NEED TO SWIRL AND TAP. The harder you press the more product the brush will pickup. So start slow. This product has a fine 'creamy' mill. This product adheres to the brush without any 'swirling' motion. You can swirl but the brush will pickup, possibly, more product than needed. You shouldn't try to use the lid as its ,not apart of or useful in the process. Its just a lid. This isn't that other national brand. You can tell I'm not a fan. 5. STIPPLE and tamp product onto face were you want coverage, then 6. BUFF to distribute product , swirl if you must, on face to get the even coverage you desire. Less waste and mess. There will be mess but significantly less and likely on your robe or current attire. If you wear foundation products loose powders and such that happens anyway. More coverage?: repeat at step 2 or 4-6. Too much product in and on sifter level?: Replace brush top then gently swirl container in hand like you would a glass of fine wine. Gently. Even easier. Replace brush top with lid. Use a separate brush( I use wet n wild Kabuki Brush, Flat Top Blending Brush, For Liquid & Mineral Foundation) and Tap the side of the foundation container while you hold it in your hand. Note the sifter is removable use a file or finger nail to gently pry the sifter pan up at the outer edge Easy. This product lasts all day. Some may need to prime and/or set depending on ones skin and/or skincare products, environment etc. Also its a great value because the product lasts a long time. As a side note sometime around 2018 Loreal had extended shades at Wally world. I didn't know they even existed let alone their availability. My best shade, in this formula, would be between N7 classic tan and N8 Cappuccino. It doesn't exist but I mix the two for a 'dark golden beige' tone. Note: C6 Soft sable too dark and has a red/violet/grey tinge on me. Around 2020 I saw the writing on the wall, Wally world (website) had the extended line (fair/ light thru dark/deep shades) on clearance, and the kept the original 12 shades in the lineup, you know I cleared the shelf of the shades I could use [n6 Honeybeige+n8 Cappuccino]. Minerals are inert so no worries but its a unfortunate many have few options in powder foundation let alone clean options at mass retailers. Either we are limited by the shade range or we settle for a formula/formulation that is lacking in performance. Loreal if your reading this please bring back the BARE NATURALE / TRUE MATCH MINERALS eyeshadows, blush, finishing powder, all your 'clean' products, please KEEP YOUR WINNING FORMULA, and of course since where all worth it maybe add back more foundation shades. If anyone cares , IMO, The Age perfect products w/Minerals are too luminous and 'blurring', yet has no coverage nor does the user have control of overall finish. Most colors lean warm. No offense to Loreal and not to discredit the True match liquid flagship but not everyone is a fan of liquid makeup in general. Forgive me in advance, I used the true match liquid 'grid' to get a rough estimate of intensity. That grid appears in accurate in terms of depth, monitors can vary, and then again this True Match collection is more about addressing undertones. Again, for give me the lighter shades I'm uncertain about. Intensity: Soft Ivory N1-2 Light Ivory W1-2 Natural Ivory C1-2 Nude Beige W3 Natural Buff N3 Creamy Natural C3 Natural Beige W4-5 Buff Beige N4 Classic Beige C4-5 Sun Beige W6-7 Classic Tan N6-7 Soft Sable C6 Anyway always a Loreal fan, Your worth it. 2/8/25. They really discontinued the whole line. Ridiculous. L'Oreal you got consumers waiting.

The only thing I wish was different about this product is that I wish it was cruelty-free and vegan. I'm a Caucasian mutt with lots of Polish, Dutch, German, Irish/Scottish, and probably other equally pale people in my family tree, so I'm pretty fair-skinned. I'm brunette (dark brown, with red in the family) and freckle, although more obviously on the body than the face. I've lived my whole life in Southern California and both my business and my hobbies involve being outdoors walking and working in the sun (I don't tan really). The Light 478 tone works perfectly on me for all that -- a great match, indeed. I love the powder -- I used a liquid before my mom introduced me to this product and it was a nightmare for my spotty teen self. Not effective. This powder is so much better. The built-in little filter shelf is excellent to cut way back on waste and excess powder per application. Too much on the shelf? Cap and shake some back down into the main container. The fact that it has its own brush and cap, as well as its small size, make it perfectly portable. I just wish the little shelf was easy to pop out: I could re-use the container instead of being forced to toss it. I think it used to be easier to separate, but now (this is my 3rd bottle) I can't get it apart with all the prying in the world: just broke the plastic rim. I don't wear much make-up (no foundation or anything: just eye, mostly), but I have poor skin and always need to cover something up or disguise the calling cards of my insomnia whenever I go out in public. Even so, I only need to replace this teeny 0.07 oz bottle once every 11 months or so, depending. I put it on and it stays all day, and covers just about everything (I spot-treat with this product) to reduce them to less noticeable. Only on a particularly egregious kind of blemish, when my skin is just really angry in some spot, does the powder separate a little bit so you can see creases if you really look. Otherwise, even though I'm fairly oily and often have several small blemishes to cover, this product works like a dream to disguise and generally even out and de-shine skin tone if you need that on occasion. Love the product, but really, really wish it was cruelty-free and vegan. If I can find a comparable concealer that is, I will switch, although this product is otherwise perfect for me!

I have used this product for several years and the coverage is amazing and very buildable from a soft light dusting to cover oily hot spots on my face to a full on photo finish look. As an older 50+ woman, I have always heard to stay away from powders, but I still find it still works well with my skin. When first applied, it will look as if it is settling a little bit into the wrinkles of older or dry skin, but somehow, it doesn't stay that way after a couple minutes. Possibly because it finally sinks in and blends with your moisturizer or skin oils since it is mineral powder - no idea? But I love it! I have pigmentation issues and white skin patches from past acne scars and this product blends it all in with the rest of my skin. As with all powder foundation makeup, you will find it a bit messy. You will need to clean up more often, but I haven't found it to be that big of a deal. I use it over my bathroom sink or a tissue to keep it off my vanity countertops. The packaging is okay. I think Loreal did the best they could in trying to create a portable, inexpensive mineral powder that includes a brush. Personally, I use my own kabuki brush that is softer (and costs more) when I'm at home. But I have used their attached brush when on the go. Yes, it is a little scratchy, but not horrible or unusable. Overall, The pros out way the cons. And for the money - this is a high quality product with great coverage, works with my skin and not just on top of it, lasts long and worthy of a five star rating in comparison to other similarly priced foundation products.

Product true to description. Came over a week earlier than anticipated. Excellent service. Will order again! Thank you
